National Drug Code
Phenytoin Sodium ER
1 FDA recall names the code 0071-3740-66 directly. A recall still applies to particular lot numbers — compare the lot on your package with the FDA notice below, and talk to your pharmacist before stopping a prescribed medication.
This code is not in the current FDA NDC directory — usual for a product that has since been discontinued or repackaged. The details below come from the recall notices themselves.
Labeling: Label Mixup: PHENYTOIN SODIUM ER, Capsule, 30 mg may have potentially been mislabeled as the following drug: LITHIUM CARBONATE ER, Tablet, 450 mg, NDC 00054002025, Pedigree: W003327, EXP: 6/19/2014.
Where to find this code. The NDC is printed on the pharmacy label and on the manufacturer's carton, usually as three groups of digits after “NDC”. The last group is the package size — two bottles of the same medicine can differ only in that group, and a recall may cover one but not the other.
